Pros

Pretty good benefits, i.e. health/dental insurance, Profit Sharing,

Cons

very much a micro management atmosphere, they squeeze so much out of the employee where it loses the joy of working. Double standards often are applied, very very political, not always based on meritocracy. Too many people (not all) have been promoted to management that were less than mediocre reps that are not qualified to lead an investment sales force. Atmosphere is going towards a robotic-like, lots of metrics/activity measures vs. just measuring performance. Current atmosphere when asking for "feedback" is not to give honest feedback, but instead, it's to provide comments that you know it's what mgmt wants to hear. Compensation structure is constantly changing and which creates a lot of anxiety.

Pros

The culture is awesome, people seem very inviting and willing to answer questions. The Boston office specifically has a ton of people because it's the headquarters.

Cons

As an intern, while my experience has been incredible, I wish opportunities were a bit more publicized so more people knew about them.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
